PearlHarbor: Movie vs. Reality
“December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” (Roosevelt). Japan surprise attacked the Hawaiian naval base, PearlHarbor, approximately at 7:55 am. The intent of the Japanese strike was to prevent the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with plans to seize overseas territories belonging to United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United...

I (a sansei) thought I would pass along some brief thoughts on the movie "PearlHarbor," which I saw Friday. Mostly, it was innocuous in a thoroughly Hollywood way. Which is to say, it truly is (as Disney hyped) a love story, framed around the attack, which is really just a plot device and an excuse for typical Bruckheimer explosions and fireballs. The film is not about the Japanese attack on PearlHarbor. In fact, with more than 45 minutes left after the attack, the rest of the film takes a long...

Picture yourself as a crew member on one of the naval ships in PearlHarbor on December 7, 1944 before complete destruction began.

Crew members have zero time to react to the planes as they begin to fire and drop bombs in the harbor. The initial surprise and confusion of the attack prevents any actions of defense. This attack on Pearl...

Japanese bombing at PearlHarbor. PearlHarbor was attacked on the morning of December 7, 1941 and would prove to be Japan’s greatest mistake, a mistake for which the consequences would extend throughout the war and well into Japan’s post-war future. More immediately, however, it would serve to drop the restraint which the U.S. had maintained as the war had raged on in Europe for over two years. The U.S. would have entered WWII even if the Japanese did not attack PearlHarbor. The axis powers, Germany...

interpretation told from a particular point-of-view. The latest Hollywood blockbuster to take on a major historical event in this way is PearlHarbor, which seeks to use the "day that will live in infamy" as a pretext for a romantic love triangle played out against a backdrop of impending tragedy.
